ABC Open for Profiles of Local Artists

Want to tell the story of a local artist to a national audience?

ABC Open will be in Leeton on Wednesday 20 May to run an information session about how you can get involved in a free video workshop series.

If you have a video camera and a story to tell, producer Sonya Gee from ABC Riverina will assist you to create a short piece on a local artist or craftsperson for ABC Open's Makers and Creators project. 

A selection of these videos have been aired on ABC television. Western Riverina Arts' communications officer Jason Richardson produced a video on his music which screened on ABC's news channel recently. 

"It was exciting to be television and surprising to see my Facebook page gained five likes overnight," said Mr Richardson. "Sonya had great advice on how to finesse my video to keep an audience interested."

If you would like to learn to make a video, contact Sonya Gee to book a place in the lunchtime ABC Open information session at Leeton library on Wednesday 20 May. It will run from 12-1pm.

To register call abcopen.riverina@abc.net.au or call 02 6923 4826 and head to abc.net.au/open to check out the video project.
